Reborn with Hokage Kobe, Japan

………………

The sun sets and the sky is bright red.

Mount Rokko is a large mountain located in Oishi District. At the foot of the mountain is the little-known Shinga Shrine.

There is a dead cherry blossom tree in the backyard of Maga Shrine. It is said to be an ancient sacred tree planted 400 years ago. Every year during the cherry blossom season, the sacred tree blooms. The slender intertwined branches are like countless arms stretching to the sky. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the entire tree seems to be covered with a beautiful cherry-colored coat, and the figure swaying in the breeze is like dancing, just like a living woman.

The sacred tree once brought great popularity to the Shinga Shrine. However, when the time came to more than 100 years ago, the sacred tree no longer bloomed for some reason. Without the protection of the sacred tree, the Shinga Shrine became lonely. Go down.

Now the fate of the Shinga Shrine will come to an end. In a few days, the land here will be reclaimed by the government, and the grandparents and granddaughters living in this shrine will also lose their last shelter.

At this time, a strong and unpleasant smell of medicine came from the inner hall of the shrine. An old man lying on the bed had reached the end of his life. His dry and decayed body was like a branch. The strong body odor had been suppressed by medicine and stones. Can't stand it anymore.

At this time, a black-haired girl with long hair hanging down to her waist was sitting on her knees next to the bed. She had fair skin and a beautiful face, her eyes were as clear as running water, her temperament was restrained and beautiful, and she had a beauty mark next to the corner of her eye. She was wearing A red and white miko costume.At this time, a woman named Nanami Sakura was kneeling by the bedside of her loved one, with tears streaming down her face as she bid the old man his last journey.

When the old man who is also the last abbot of this shrine passes away, the shrine will be demolished, the land will be returned to the Japanese authorities, and Nanami Sakura will become the mourner of this 400-year-old Shinga Shrine.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry that I failed to protect the shrine."

"I was deceived by them, and everyone teamed up to deceive me!"

Nanami Sakura's eyes were red from crying and her lips were trembling. At this time, she was most saddened by her heartbreak. She didn't expect that things would come to this point. What she didn't expect was that the group of people would join forces to bully her, an untouched person. Girl, from the beginning, everyone approached her with hypocritical and greedy purposes, defrauding her trust, and finally succeeded in driving her out of the shrine.

The more Nanami Sakura thought about it, the angrier she became, and finally couldn't help but break down and cry.

Her only relative is about to pass away, and she will be kicked out again. Now, let alone the future, even her grandfather’s funeral expenses have not yet been paid. Nanami Sakura, who is only 16 years old, has already tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and her heart is extremely sad. , almost losing his mind.

"……cherry…"

At this time, the old man on the bed slowly opened his eyes and squeezed out a hoarse voice from his throat.

"Remember that song I taught you?"

"Grandpa, I remember!"

Nanami Sakura held the old man's outstretched hand, and it felt like she was holding a piece of dead wood instead of human flesh and blood.

"Sing it, grandpa wants to hear it again."

Nanami Sakura nodded with tears in her eyes.

Soft singing came from the gloomy shrine, and the sound as soft as spring water soothed people's hearts and brought endless reverie to them.But the sad tone makes people cry involuntarily. What they think of is not only the upcoming separation, but also the sadness of never being able to see each other again.

This song is the "Sakura Song" that has been passed down 400 years ago. The lyrics are about the legend of the sacred cherry tree. It is said that the song was created during the Warring States Period. At that time, Japan was like a picture scroll of hell. It is generally cruel and cold. Therefore, people who have lost their loved ones, loved ones, and husbands, and suffered from separation, place their grief for their families on the sacred tree. The sacred tree accepts this prayer and protects them.

Although the sacred tree has not bloomed for hundreds of years, it is said that when the sacred tree blooms with cherry blossoms again, all the sadness in the world will disappear, the gray sky will become full of color, and people will no longer experience the sadness of farewell, tenderness The sacred cherry tree will embrace her children (believers) like a mother, and then the true god will come.

Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, no one has seen the so-called arrival of gods in 400 years. But for the people of Maga Shrine, this song is their favorite song to sing when they feel sad, and they can relieve their inner feelings through singing. The loneliness, keep sadness and despair away from your heart.

When my grandfather was dying, there was nothing he could do. He only hoped that his granddaughter could relieve her inner grief and sadness by singing this song that she had been singing since she was a child. I also hoped that she could live well alone in this world in the future. .

"Sakura, you have to stay strong and survive."

When the song gradually came to an end, grandpa had closed his eyes forever and could no longer hear this cherry blossom song.

But the singing didn't stop there. Nanami Sakura sang over and over again with tears streaming down her face and in a hoarse voice. But the more she sang, the sadder she became. In the end, she was crying so much that she couldn't even breathe. The huge sadness and loss of her loved ones. The pain and pressure caused the 16-year-old girl to completely collapse.

Nanami Sakura was lying on the ground crying so hard that she couldn't even straighten up. That voice could only be made by someone in extreme despair. Just listening to it made people feel unspeakably uncomfortable, and they even couldn't help but think of their own sadness. , thinking of those painful past memories that I thought had been smoothed away long ago, but were actually just forgotten on purpose, and then when those memories were dug up, the feeling of heartache and suffocation resurfaced again.

After crying until she was tired, Nanami Sakura got up from the ground in despair and took out the hemp rope she had prepared from the back of the cabinet.

She has lost her last relative, and now she has to lose even her final place of sacrifice. What is there to miss in such a painful and indifferent world?It is better to leave this world as soon as possible and reunite with relatives in the underworld.

Nanami Sakura, who was desperate, threw the rope up to the rafter and tied the rope. She stepped on the small bench and stood up. She put her feet on it and stretched her neck to reach for the rope. It was impossible not to be afraid, but when she thought about how she could survive, The reality he was about to face was that it would be better to just die.

Nanami Sakura tied the rope tightly around her neck. Just when she was about to kick off the chair and go to reunite with her family, she suddenly heard an elegant tune coming from outside the temple. She was very familiar with that tune because just a moment ago she had heard it. After singing, is there anyone else in this shrine besides myself?

Nanami Sakura, who wanted to commit suicide at this time, was a little entangled. On the one hand, she didn't want to be rescued halfway, which would be too embarrassing. On the other hand, suicide can only be done in one go, and you can think about it again when you come back to your senses. When she was young, she felt too stupid, so Nanami Sakura was very worried about whether she should die now or not.

"Who on earth is so unethical and doesn't even give people peace of mind even if they want to die!"

Nanami Sakura walked down from the bench angrily. It is said that people who hang themselves will become incontinent. Although Nanami Sakura is not afraid of death, she does not want to be seen incontinent. It is simply worse than death.

The furious Nanami Sakura rushed out of the shrine to find someone to settle the score, but she found that there was no one outside the shrine, and the singing seemed to be coming from the backyard.

So Nanami Sakura returned to the backyard, and sure enough she heard the singing more clearly.

"This voice actually sounds better than mine."

Nanami Sakura muttered and reached out to push open the wooden door of the backyard.

Just listen to a "squeak"...

The wooden door opened.

What caught my eye at that moment was the cherry blossoms flying all over the sky.

"how is this possible?!"

Nanami Sakura was stunned at the scene with an expression of disbelief on her face. What was in front of her at this time was the cherry blossom tree that was in full bloom again after a hundred years. The slender intertwined branches were like countless arms stretching to the sky. The blooming cherry blossoms were flying all over the sky. The shadows of the trees swaying in the breeze seem to be dancing, like a living woman.

And as the sacred tree revived again, the originally dry land was quickly covered with green grass, flowers bloomed, the entire backyard became full of life, and a charming fragrance of drunken flowers spread in the air.

At this moment, Nanami Sakura saw her grandfather standing under the cherry blossom tree, waving gently to her.But before Nanami Sakura could say anything, grandpa turned around and left with a smile. His figure gradually moved further and further away, and finally merged with the cherry blossom tree.

"It turns out that the legend is true, and gods really live in the sacred tree."

Nanami Sakura looked at all this blankly.

At this moment, a branch fell quietly, and a budding white seed appeared in front of Nanami Sakura.Yes, not the kind of black seeds that can be discarded at will, but the white seeds that can directly inherit Char's power.

At this time, a voice sounded in Nanami Sakura's mind.

"Eat it and you will become an apostle of God and dedicate your life to God."

"And your whole world will change forever. No one in this world can hurt you anymore."

That voice was so kind and reassuring, as if you couldn't help but want to believe it and do what it said, even if it meant breaking your body.

Nanami Sakura's eyes gradually became blurred, and a fire was burning in her heart.

Of course, Nanami Sakura has another option, which is to drop everything and return to the shrine to continue her unfinished suicide career.But no one would make such a stupid choice, and Nanami Sakura was even less stupid, so when she heard the voice in her head, she automatically understood it as "the sacred tree was talking to herself" and was lucky enough to be chosen For the apostles of God.

Yes, except for miracles, there is no reason to explain everything in front of us. The legend is true - when the sacred tree blooms again, the gods will descend from the sky and eliminate all the sorrow and separation in the world.

Nanami Sakura, who was moved to tears, carefully took the seeds. At that moment, she seemed to be holding her own destiny in her hands.

"I am willing to dedicate everything to God. Nanami Sakura will always be your most loyal maid!"

Nanami Sakura shouted in a tone that almost made her cry.

Then she swallowed the seeds in one gulp without hesitation!

An inexplicable power filled her whole body, with a warm and itchy feeling. At the same time, Nanami Sakura seemed to have something suddenly in her mind, including the origin and past of the sacred tree, why it fell asleep and why it woke up. , and her mission is to protect the sacred tree and ensure its safety.

At this time, Nanami Sakura's hands were covered with a layer of green light, and rich chakra gathered in the palms. Moreover, the chakra was not ordinary chakra, but the purest yin attribute chakra, although it was not as good as yang attribute chakra. That kind of person has extremely strong vitality, but also has extremely strong abilities in healing and regeneration, and the ultimate Yin attribute is a half-immortal body.

At this moment, the girl seemed to be reborn, showing a bright smile.

………………

Yin attribute → Corpse Veins and Shadow Binding

Cherry Blossom Tree→The Yin attribute energy is injected into the body to resuscitate/the Yang attribute is directly reborn.
